Hey folks, could use your advice! I am not hugely knowledgable about lenses. Roughly 5 years ago I bought a nikkon D50 with an 18 - 70 lens that I have been using merrily, alongside gimp, to produce nice pics of my minis. I have a good light box set up Recently the lens broke (rough family...

A while ago I began the airbrush journey, and it's not been easy! I've posted many threads seeking advice and I've slowly improved. My main problem is still that my paint 'spatters' onto the surfaces. It seems to happen regardless of how thin/thick I paint, or how high/low the pressure is...

ok so last year I bought an iwata studio series compressor and Airbrush BD-130A from airbrush pro. The compressor was expensive, the airbrush not so much. But regardless, it'd gotten good reviews for a beginners tool. Now, I can't get consistent results EVER. I can spray consistently for...

ok guys, so based on a lot of your golden advice (airhead, genrulpoleaxe, nick232 among others) 2 months ago I bought myself an airbrush. I thought it\'d be rude not to post my results. This is one of my first outings with it and I\'ve used it for basecoating, highlighting and even for...

Hi guys, having recently bought an airbrush I\'d like to experiment with somem spray on varnishes (Ive found cans from all manufacturers unreliable in the past). Has anyone used varnis from an airbrush, and can you tell me if it produces more consistent results than from a spray can? I\'ve...

Well, phase 3 this week, having researched, bought and played with my new airbrush I tried it on a model, the new Valkerie model to be precise. Only the interiors so far, exteriors next week. Its easier than it looks, once the paint consistency is right: rev

Well, thanks to the advice of many of you on this forum, phase 1 (R&D) is complete and I\'ve now entered pase 2 (P&A = Purchase and attempt). I plumped for an as new Iwata smart jet pro compressor off ebay (local to me, I collected and saved on postage £100) I followed nicks link and bought...

HI folks. I know this comes up all the time, but I\'d really appreciate your advice regardless. I want to buy an airbrush. The reading I\'ve done seems to suggest that I want a double action, gravity fed, internal mixing airbrush with a compressor. I want it (currently) for painting...

Hi all - the B&C forums recently ran a contest to paint a standard AoBR terminator, so I entered to try my luck. Came 2nd overall so was quite pleased. What do you think: http://www.coolminiornot.com/203479 Did anybody else here enter? rev

I used the search function but couldn\'t find an answer, My mother in law is a sharpe and hornblower fan, and I\'m wondering if anybody knows of any mini sculpts either of the characters or good stand ins I could obtain? thanks in advance rev

having done a search for what people think are the best brushes atm, I wondered where the UK CMONers bought from? I\'m struggling to find somewhere online with a good range through google, can somebody help? I think I\'ll pick up some davinci or raphael in a size 1, as an alternative to a...

Hi guys I\'m in a pickle. I\'m a reasonable painter, but I paint some colours much better than others. For ages i\'ve been staying away from painting anything black as i\'m terrible at it but its time for me to confront my nemesis. I\'d like some advice on painting black, as whenever I...
